Creating Queues
Each queue consists of a physical object on the Universal Messaging realm as well as its logical reference in a namespace that may comprise resources that exist across multiple Universal Messaging realm servers. You can also obtain references to the queue by using the Universal Messaging Client and Admin APIs. You can create a queue in the following ways:
*Create the new queue directly under the realm node.
*Create a container node (folder) that contains the new queue.
*Add the new queue to an already existing container node.
If the realm on which you want to create the queue is part of a cluster, the queue is created as a cluster-wide asset. You cannot create local stores on a clustered realm.
When you connect to a Universal Messaging realm in the Enterprise Manager, all resources and services found in the realm namespace are displayed in a tree structure under the realm node.
*To create a queue in the Enterprise Manager
1. Expand the Realms node.
2. Select a realm, right-click it, and then select Create Queue.
3. In the Add queue dialog box, specify a name for the queue.
If you want to create a new container node, you must specify the absolute name of the queue. For example, to create a queue named "requests" in a new container named "eur", type eur/requests.
The set of valid characters that you can use for queue names is the same as the valid character set for channel names. For more information, see Valid Channel and Queue Names.
4. Specify the other queue attributes to configure the behavior of the queue.
For more information about the queue attributes and values to specify, see Queue Attributes.
5. (Optional) To configure the operational environment of the queue, edit the storage properties associated with the queue.
For more information about the storage properties, see Storage Properties of Channels and Queues.
6. (Optional) If you want to publish Protobuf events on the queue, upload a Protobuf descriptor.
For general information about Google protocol buffers, see Google Protocol Buffers.
7. Click OK.
